There are no “Stop” signs on the roads in Paris.
There’re 6,100 streets in Paris, and none of them have a stop sign for drivers. The last stop sign was removed somewhere between 2012 and 2014, and since then Parisian traffic functions completely without them. The reason behind this is that the car on the right in Paris always has priority.

#10 this is not only in paris so, but in most of europe (I don't exactly know if there's a country where it's different). If you arrive on crossroads and there is no sign or traffic light, the car on your right goes first, the car on your left has to wait. If there are 4 cars at the same time, someone has to give up his right to go first to the car on your left. That's why this is mostly used in rural areas or in suburbs to slow down traffic.

Jacobus,
"Car on the right has the right-of-way" is true in the US as well - look it up - but the importation of a culture with no rules has badly eroded the observance of this standard.

#10 I wish in North America would be the same. It should be yield sign instead, and may be main road sign. When I moved to Canada, I was stun to see "stop" on almost every corner.

Edmund,
A gallon is a part of a binary volume measurement system. It is very efficient (ask your computer, which spends way too much time converting to base-10). Volume is also correlated with the weight of water on Earth, "A pint (1/8 gallon [volume]) is a pound (16 ounces [force]) all the world round".
The French had a chance to make the Metric system similarly grounded in the world we live in, but they hated the English I guess so they decided to go with a less useful, arbitrary standard instead.
